Norm Peterson was the inspiration for Star Trek's Morn (Morn is an anagram of "Norm").

Morn sat at Quark's Bar nursing a beer, just as Norm did at Cheers.

If only a technobabble incident in Quark's Holosuite had turned Morn human... would have been a fun ep with George in it and yet another Cheers-Trek connection.

I think Morn should have gotten the last word in DS9, kind of like how the Home Improvement finale finally showed Wilson's face.

RIP Mr. Wendt. One of the more historic characters I've seen in TV.

Rest in peace Mr. Wendt.

This was always one of my favorites from Norm:

Rest in peace Mr. Wendt.

This was always one of my favorites from Norm:

“Hey, Norm. What are you up to?”

“My ideal weight if I was 11 feet tall.”



RIP

RIP

"Hey, Norm, how is the world treating you?"

"The way a baby treats a diaper."

"Hey, Mr. Peterson. What's shaking?"

"All four cheeks and a couple of chins."

Im extremely saddened by this. I was so hoping for a mini cheers reunion if we ever got more Frasier. Without George it would not be the same.

For those that haven't seen it here is his last Interview and appearance last August. On Ted and Woody's podcast. It was an excellent interview and the story of How George and Woody first met was pretty funny. ..
